I will ask one more question and then will let someone else in. I have to go to another meeting. On pigs, what capacity do farmers have to deal with the further increases in energy costs that are likely to be incurred immediately due to the invasion of Ukraine? We need to be realistic. The war is happening in real time so the consequences that will be felt in higher energy costs will be felt more immediately. What are the IFA's views on what is needed? I refer to the €7 million package that was announced during the week by the Department. What impact will that have for farmers in the immediate term?
